This course introduces the world of tobacco laws and regulation. Throughout this course, United States federal laws concerning the sale of tobacco and tobacco-related products will be discussed.

In the United States, the "Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act," also known as the "Tobacco Control Act," governs the ways in which tobacco products may be sold and distributed to consumers. This course-and the Tobacco Control Act-focuses primarily on keeping tobacco and tobacco-related products out of the hands of children (by law, defined as anyone under the age of 18 years old). These restrictions involve numerous regulatory and advertising standards, as well as strict laws regarding the advertising and promotion of cigarettes and other tobacco-containing products.

This course also explains the significant health risks to smokers and others who use tobacco products, and seeks to minimize the damage done to the youngest generations by helping them choose to avoid becoming smokers or tobacco users.

OLCC License History

In 1985, following initiatives by the state’s restaurant association, Oregon legislated that all owners and employees of licensed businesses that serve alcohol for on-premise consumption must undergo mandatory server education. Oregon was the first state in the country to require alcohol safety training. The current law requires alcohol servers take and pass a course in responsible alcohol service every 5 years.

Following the tradition set by the State of Oregon when it pioneered mandatory training for all alcohol servers, learn2Serve.com’s online Alcohol Server Education provides the instruction that alcohol servers need to obtain their Oregon alcohol service permit.

OLCC Alcohol Service Permit Facts

Oregon alcohol sale and service laws, including drunk-driving statutes

Alcohol’s effects on the body and behavior, and alcohol interaction with other substances, including drugs

Intervention methods for dealing with intoxicated or underage customers

Responsible advertising, marketing, and management procedures

At the end of the course, there is a 50-question multiple-choice exam. The passing mark is 70%. Although, most students pass the exam the first time around, those who fail are allowed to retake it twice before they are required to re-register and take the course again.

Obtaining Your OLCC Alcohol Server’s Permit

The State of Oregon seems quiet and isolated from American media, except for the occasional pop culture references to its independent music scene and political climate. But Oregon is, in fact, making some buzz in another area—its liquor industry. Oregon takes pride in its craft beer distillery industry, which generates about $53 million in sales annually and influences a healthy beer-drinking and mixology culture in the state. How does the state keep everyone in good spirits?

The Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) is the government body that regulates the alcoholic beverage sales and service in the state of Oregon. The OLCC has been established back in the 1930s to uphold the highest standards for alcohol sales. In line with its mission, the OLCC requires all alcohol sellers, servers, and merchants to acquire an OLCC permit or OLCC card which will allow them to perform activities relating to the sales and service of alcoholic beverages legally.

Learn2Serve offers individual courses to satisfy your employer’s and the state of Oregon’s requirements for alcohol seller and server training. Learn2Serve’s Oregon On-Premises alcohol server/seller training provides workers (e.g. bartenders, staff, bar owners and managers and mixologists) with the necessary knowledge and skills in selling and serving alcohol responsibly, in complying with state rules and regulations, and in ensuring the safety of customers and the general public.

The Oregon liquor license validity extends up to only five years from the date of alcohol server training. This applies to all persons who’ve obtained their permit after January 1, 2010. Only individuals who have taken an alcohol server education class within the past 7 years are eligible to renew their permit and take a renewal class. You can determine your eligibility by directly consulting with the OLCC. Call the OLCC’s hotline 503-872-5114 or 800-452-6522 ext. 5114 before signing up for a renewal class.
